documentation/adt-manual/adt-intro.xml: Edits to introduction chapter
I edited the text so that the purpose of the manual is clearer. I have segmented out the ADT into distinct components and made sure the overviews of each is good. Edits to clarify the role of the ADT as well.

78 The Eclipse IDE is a popular development environment and it fully supports
79 development using the Yocto Project.
80 When you install and configure the Eclipse Yocto Project Plug-in into
81 the Eclipse IDE, you maximize your Yocto Project experience.
82 Installing and configuring the Plug-in results in an environment that
83 has extensions specifically designed to let you more easily develop software.
84 These extensions allow for cross-compilation, deployment, and execution of
85 your output into a QEMU emulation session.
86 You can also perform cross-debugging and profiling.
87 The environment also supports a suite of tools that allows you to perform
88 remote profiling, tracing, collection of power data, collection of
89 latency data, and collection of performance data.
